Marco and Sean became friends through their mutual friend Craig Manning in Season 2 of Degrassi: The Next Generation. However, by the beginning of the third season, the two had completely drifted apart. Sean had found a new best friend in troublemaker Jay Hogart, and Marco came out as gay. Though they were briefly reunited when Sean began dating Ellie Nash, Marco's best friend and former girlfriend, it was clear that they no longer had anything in common.
